How Long Does It Take To Get Back Normal Enzyme Levels?
My liver enzymes were normal 3 years ago. Recently, my results were GGT=119, AST=67, Alt=121. I ve been a relatively heavy drinker for the past few years, but have ceased alcohol consumption since getting results. I ve always eaten a vitamin rich diet, but too much with little exercise. I have begun exercising, I eat less and healthier, and take plenty of the recommended supplements (E, multi, taurine, co-enzyme Q10, etc.). Have no symptoms (feel healthy) of liver disease. How long should it take to realize normal enzyme levels?

It's hard to predict when they will be totally resolved .In three months I would expect a significant improvement, if you stay off all alcohol. If they are the same in 6 weeks , I would start looking for other causes.
